One of the A’s most impressive feats in this sensational season came to a halt Tuesday, when the team fell for the first time when leading after seven innings.

Even so, making it to the final week without a loss in such circumstances is a major reason Oakland clinched an unexpected playoff spot - and the streak might have lived on were it not for an error by third baseman Matt Chapman with two outs in the ninth, which set up Kyle Seager’s game-tying single off Blake Treinen.
